Mayflower Seafood and Restaurant

Wifey and I stopped off for lunch yesterday hoping that the inside of the restaurant was looking better than the outside. It was, and we were greeted by an amazing lady named Charley who was also our server. While we have eaten at other Mayflower places, never at this one.She was very friendly and helpful, took our orders and in no time our awesome meals arrived. We enjoyed fresh hot catfish, "baby shrimp, their wonderful Cole slaw and hush puppies. There was so much food we asked for extra plates but Charley was on the ball, already brought them.She also brought the condiments from the fridge, which I appreciated. I am always a bit leary when tarter sits on a table all day. This was nice and cold.There was so much food we could only eat half, and took the rest home for dinner.All for $25 including iced tea.You can bet we will be back.Hope Charley is still there. If I owned a restaurant I'd hire her in a flash!ScottCheers to the

Excellent food- good service - convenient location -a level building that if space available you can almost pull up to the door. A favorite of the community & travelers passing by. Across from a super Walmart and other shopping experiences nearby & trauma center

It always a pleasure to dine in. It's clean and quiet and the food and customer service is top tier.

I like to say I'm a pretty FAIR person and HONEST person because I too have businesses, but I do leave reviews because they help me with my travels. Although some places have "not so good reviews" - sometime I still try them out for myself ------ just in case they are the opposite. .Now, with this place, we should have paid attention to the reviews. Especially for the price you pay. Now this is DEFINITELY not your gulf coast type of seafood eating at all, but hubby wanted seafood. Sign.... He got the Mayfield broiled meal and I got just a plain side salad (I'm not a meat eater- plant based the best I can.) So the broiled.... The shrimp looked like little rolled up peanuts and his fried oysters (they said they couldn't broil them) looked like burnt bread rolls. His scallop he said were spongy and the fish he said was "ok", but not that good. He didn't bother touching the onion rings. Ok, so the salad - only iceberg lettuce and chips of carrots and sprinkled cheese. They had no spinach(no problem), there was no cucumbers, no croutons, no nothing for a decent salad. The ranch dressing was ok and I had captain wafers crackers. I would have been happy just eating ranch and plain crackers. ((Sigh)).While we were sitting waiting for our food there was sooooooooo much noise from the kitchens. I'm talking LOUD yelling, throwing dishes, beating on counters and what seemed to be a major dispute. My hubby jokingly said to our waitress "Uhhh, do I need to go in the back since the owner was playing death like he don't hear that?" Ha! She said- Oh it's one whole family work in the kitchen they always do that. They always having fun. I said "fun"!? Sound like a fight to me. My hubby said - she just trying to throw us off - we know what a dispute sounds like and they are clearly arguing. We could r sit in peace and enjoy our .14 cent value meal. .We talked to a lady, which I pointed out to my hubby, I bet she's the wife and she was. We asked her how long they been there and she said 15 yrs!wow.... Guess people have no other place to get seafood and just rock with it, but nahhh We'll forever pass if we're in the area again. It was just stressful sitting there. Ugh. I asked about the bag with ball the names were they franchise and she said no, they were all "family" owned 1sr one was in Winston Salem opened in 1980. Dayum! All family owned from multiple family members from Poland (I believe that's what she said). .Try at your own risk, but we don't recommend.

Very nice and cozy place for seafood. The menu has all sorts of variety food items to choose from. The server named Ariyah S. was a delight to have as a server. She was very nice and very friendly. She was also fairly new to this location but still provided very attentive service. She was on constant look out for providing quality service. The chicken wings was very good. The food portions are huge you get a lot of food for the price. The fried shrimp, fried white fish was very tasty and very good. Was not crazy about how tough the fried scallops turned out. The hushpuppies are also very good. The loaded baked potatoes was very loaded with butter, sour cream, real bacon and cheese, which was very nice. This is not a place where you are going to get super fresh seafood straight out of the water.

Was pleasantly surprised by the food . After reading the reviews I will admit I was kind of worried about the quality of food. The only complaint was that it was a mix up on the waitress staff on who we belonged too and waited for around 20 min before waitress took our order. Our waitress was Sharon and she did a great job and apologized many times for the mix up. I had the Baby flounder and jumbo shrimp and the were both cooked very well and had some Chrispness and were very favorable. The baked potato was also good. Wife had Baby flounder, popcorn shrimp and oysters and all were cooked very well. Don't know if we just caught a good day or what but very well possess with food and service will try it again on next visit to Henderson

The broiled trout entree with baked potatoe was good. The fish was cooked properly and I liked that the baked potatoe wasn't already dressed with sour cream or butter. Hush puppies were warm and tender. Server Amy was prompt and polite.

The whole place was a mess. From the waitresses to the food. Just avoid this place. Charges me gratuity on two checks because they forgot an item and I left a tip without know I was charged for it.

Friday's lunch special " Fried Catfish with popcorn shrimp " , delicious food , huge portions and tremendous price . Will definitely be back .

Food was horrible and tasted like it was warmed up from the day before. Waitress was great but if you think this place is like the one in Durham, you are wrong. I hidely recommend you skip over this place.
